Um, guys I was reading about a new book called the Last battle of the Civil War and it may seem too simplistic in its themes and intentions but basically it taks about the Reconstruction policies of Lincoln and Johnson and later the formation of Jim Crow in the American South after wards which lasted until the mid 60's and was resisted heavily by southenr politicians and segregationists like George Wallace and Lester Maddox, I ordered it today at a local bookstore here in mobile and will read it and report when I get the full gist of it all.
But I was wondering to the history reps and buffs is if they have heard of this book too, are we in a way still battling the last battle of the Civil War in the sense of doing away wit the last vestiges of segregation and racism that was so rampant after the Civil War and REconstruction?
It makes for good debate or discussion I Think as a history major in that field.
